THE CASTING PROCESS

Overview:  This online casting process consists of a single round competition to select 5 cast members who will compete for Flavor Flav's love in the Program.  Those chosen as winners of the competition will be revealed during a VH1 television special on a date to be determined in the future, or online.

How to participate in the competition:  The only way to participate in the online casting process is to log on to the website www.flavoroflovecasting.com, create a user profile, upload a video and a still photograph of yourself prior to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, September 4, 2007.  Specifically, you need to do the following:

TAG categories are used only as a means of identification and will not be used as one of the criteria in determining a winner.

It is suggested that you enter and upload all required content as early as possible because the public will have more time to see your materials and vote for you.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Producer shall have the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to extend and or revise the foregoing deadlines.

Voting:  The public will cast votes to determine the ultimate winners of the competition.  To be part of the voting community, voters must log on to the competition website www.flavoroflovecasting.com, and register to vote by creating a user profile.  Voting is limited to 1 vote per person / per day.  Voting results (vote accumulation) will be displayed on each contestant profile until the final week of voting, at which time, the top 10 contestants' vote totals will not be displayed to the public.  Producer reserves the right, in Producer's sole discretion, to take whatever remedial action Producer deems appropriate in Producer's sole discretion if Producer determines there has been any interference or manipulation of the voting tabulation, including, without limitation, to terminate the account of any voter or contestant who Producer suspects of interfering with or manipulating the voting results on the site, to disqualify any voter or contestant involved with the manipulations, and/or to report any manipulations or interference to the authorities when such action is warranted.

Paperwork: You are required to fill out, sign and agree to all of the terms and conditions of the Producer's required forms.  Contestants will be asked to provide required information and agree to the terms and conditions of the Online Audition Application and Agreement during the video upload process.  If you are among the top contestants in the competition, you will be required to fill out, sign and agree to all of the terms and conditions of additional forms, including without limitation, our standard participant release contract.  In addition, you should read and comply with the online Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Copyright Policy [insert links].  You will also be subject to a thorough background investigation and medical and psychological examinations, all at Producer's sole discretion.
